This is not a beurre blanc as there is no cream in a beurre blanc. It is a delicious butter sauce though! I serve it with seared scallops, spinach, jasmine rice, also a red pepper sauce.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 large shallots, very finely chopped
1/2 cup key lime juice (I use Nellie & Joe's Famous Key West Lime Juice)
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4-1 cup unsalted butter
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Reduce the vinegar, wine, keylime juice, shallots, salt and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat until the liquid is nearly evaporated.
  • Add the heavy cream and reduce by half.
  • Cool the mixture to 140°F.
  • Place the saucepan with the reduced mixture over extremely low heat and whisk in the butter tablespoon by tablespoon, whisking vigorously the entire time.
  • Strain the sauce.
  • Keep warm until ready to serve - do not allow the sauce to boil or it will separate.

Overall, this is a pretty good sauce. It's easy to make and it tastes good. I would definitely make it again, but I would probably adjust the ingredients a bit to suit my own taste.

This sauce was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would prefer it with less butter. Other than that, it was a pretty good sauce. I liked the bright lime flavor and the creamy texture.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce turned out way too thick. I had to add some water to thin it out. Other than that, it was a pretty good sauce. I liked the tart flavor and the pop of color it added to my dish.

This sauce is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would prefer it with a little less lime juice. Other than that, it's a pretty good sauce. I liked the creamy texture and the hint of sweetness.
